Did you know that life expectancy is not the same as healthy life years?
Have a look at this interesting statistic to know the healthy life years in Europe.
Whether extra years of life gained through increased longevity are spent in good or bad health is a crucial question. Since life expectancy at birth is not able to fully answer this question, indicators of health expectancies, such as healthy life years have been developed. Healthy life years is also called disability-free life expectancy and is defined as the number of years that a person is expected to continue to live in a healthy condition. These focus on the quality of life spent in a healthy state, rather than the quantity of life, as measured by life expectancy. Healthy life years are an important measure of the relative health of populations in the European Union.
